Whilst it absolutely sucks! You need to respect yourself and do it in person! Meet up with him, be honest and tell him you want to be happy!! That will help it be on good terms. Tell him that you have enjoyed what you have had and what it included but explain what has gone wrong and what you would like. If he really loves you, he will respect you. From then, don't talk for a while and maybe you guys can be friends again so that you can end on good terms!!!! Good luck and hope it goes well!

There are a few ways you could tell him. If you would prefer to avoid confrontation, you could email, text or ring him. You could confront him if you feel comfortable with it. With relationships, it can be hard when someone you like breaks up with you, no matter how old you are. So he may feel sad or upset but just know that it's far better you to tell him now. If you continued to date him as you didn't want to hurt his feelings but you no longer liked him, it wouldn't help. You'd be unhappy and he'd be in love with someone who doesn't love him back. So like I said, best way to break up with someone if you want to avoid confrontation is text, phone, or email. :)

Be honest with him, tell him why you don’t want to be with him. Don’t leave any unanswered questions, get it all off your chest. You should be truthful to the one you had dated before, therefore you should respect him and let him know the reasons why you don’t want him anymore. Your boyfriend is someone you dated and had considered to be a significant other. Respecting him and you is important. Don’t leave any unanswered questions, and just be truthful to him overall, because if you don’t, things will be left dry and at least maintain a good image.

First of all, be sure that you really want this, as this kind of decisions are important for both of you! Try to find the cause of why you came to this point. Then listen to him and try to understand his point of view too. Explain your decision and be kind with your feelings. Give arguments and things that will help him understand. Avoid blaming him, take this as a whole experience, as a journey or a life chapter that has to come to an end. In the end assume your decision and learn to live with it.

The very simple and subtle answer is create some private space, discuss with him what's not going good in your relationship, why you don't want to be with him and go your separate ways without any hard feelings. However you may separate none should have guilt-feel after the separation. And yes while you separate with each other you shouldn't point all the mistakes they've made. It is the end of a certain type of relationship, you two may have to cross paths on further course of your life, leave as good friends. Don't spread bad rumors about anyone, and if you're wanting to not be with him due to some rumors(as such things are common these days) talk to him and go thoroughly with that!! Good day and all the best!

Be honest about your feelings and respectful in the way you express them. Try to talk about your feelings in the first-person "I" instead of sharing them with "You make me feel..." Try to think about what is the best way you would want someone to tell it to you, if you were in his shoes. Be patient with yourself, and be generous in your expectations of how he may react in his feelings or words. Remember that life does not always have to be perfect in every moment, and that we are all trying to make it work in our own ways.

Tell him that you no longer feel the same, that you need some time for yourself and not for the rest. Speak it with security, because if it sees you insecure you will think that somehow it will be able to convince you so that you do not finish with it. Give him good reasons, with valid arguments. Be totally honest and honest, that will be the best. If your reaction ends up being bad do not worry, you should stay calm and leave if necessary, in any case you have already made it clear. All gonna be okay!

Don't tell him.. Talk to him. Find a place to sit and talk, start by telling him how was your experience of this relationship, ask his experience. Tell him what you are thinking and why. Because everyone deserves a reason. Slowly and steadily, work upon coming to a mutual decision, so that it doesn't impact anyone's life in a harsh way. If he doesn't agrees to breakup, ask him why, and then make him understand your point of view. I hope this answer will help you to get out of a relationship which you doesn't want anymore. Wish you luck dear.

Approach the conversation with calmness and a positive mind set. explain to him that you do not think that your relationship with your partner is not working out the way you wanted it to starting your partnership. he may be frustrated or upset, but empathize with how he is feeling in this moment, and always remember to stay calm. if your partner continues to show violent or angry signs with intent to hurt you or themselves, do not try to diffuse the situation, instead get out as soon as possible and call the police if you feel that it is necessary.

For you to get to the point in a relationship where you feel you no longer want to be in that relationship will be difficult for both parties involved. So the best way to deal with a situation like this in my opinion and taking the situation surrounding the imminent break up into serious consideration is to be completely honest with your partner and do so with compassion but you also have to take into account that his reaction could also be unexpected so you have to plan for all that. One thing you've got to remember is love is no charity and nobody should feel obligated to be or remain in a relationship they don't want to be in.
